*bounces around singing and screaming*
a-tisket, a-tasket
a brown and yellow basket
i sent a letter to my mommy
on the way I dropped it
i dropped it, i dropped it
yes on the way i dropped it
a little girlie picked it up
and put it in her pocket
she was truckin' on down the avenue
not a single thing to do
she went peck, peck, peckin' all around
when she spied it on the ground
she took it, she took it,
my little yellow basket
and if she doesn't bring it back
i think that i will die
oh dear, i wonder where my basket can be?
(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
oh gee, i wish that little girl i could see
(so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
oh why was i so careless with that basket of mine
that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine
a-tisket, a-tasket,
i lost my yellow basket
won't someone help me find my basket
and make me happy again
again - oh dear - oh gee
oh why was i so
careless with that basket of mine
careless with that basket of mine
careless with that basket of mine
that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine
"a quirky arse-shaking version of Ella Fitzgerald’s A Tisket A Tasket." That's what they say about it. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!
I WANT THIS SONG, I WANT THIS SONG, I WANT THIS SONG!
(that itty-bitty basket was the joy of mine!!!)
(the stuff is crawling through my head for 2 months now. I heard it on the radio and got completely freaked out. I listened to it when I packed all my stuff into boxes. I sang it when I carried all those boxes into the car. I drove with it at top volume in the loudspeakers. to Vienna and back again. And I sing it all the time since then. Aaaah. I need this song on mp3 or CD or whatever................)
more music:
There's so much music that comes to my mind lately. Songs which I've heard on
FM4 and can't listen to here in Hungary.
I tried to buy Boy Omega's dreamy relaxing new CD "The black Tango". Boy Omega? They didn't even have it on their computers. (bought a Janis-Joplin CD and a Black Sabbath instead. Hehe.)
And I miss the "coin-operated boy" song by the Dresden dolls.
I miss "Sterman & Chrisseman", the "Jugendzimmer" and "im Sumpf".
I even start to miss Blumenau. somehow.
I miss FM4.
(and I know that they have this live webstream, but I don't have loudspeakers and I'm not crazy enough to lie on the ice-cold stone-floor listening to it with my headphones. No, I'm not. Yet.)
